Just as I've become less shy about using #Hashtags in order to help others discover my posts (and my server), I've become less shy about following hashtags, too.
Maybe this won't always be true, but for today I can follow tags as broad as "Music", "VideoGames", "NYC", or "Boston" and not get washed away with a flood of constant toots the way I might expect elsewhere. Maybe a handful per hour, for each tag.
(Omitting #Octothorpes because this post isn't actually about those topics!)
#hashtags #octothorpes #feditips
#Octothorpes (OK OK, call them hashtags) denote subjects. Most people are posting what their interests are, but there's limited content at the moment.
My interests:
#tech and #science
#security
#hydroponics and #aquaculture
#books - I need more time to read!
#bees and #beekeeping
That's probably enough for now. :-)
